Hey guys,
I'm a newb to this forum and I'm a recent F-Body buyer. I got a 1996 T/A WS6 M6 a couple weeks ago. All was starting, running, and driving ok until last night. I took off the positive battery cable to hook up my amp wire, wired the entire stereo up, and now the car will not start. I did not blow any fuses, short anything, or anything of that sort.
The car cranks and cranks and for 1/2 a second, it seems to start but it will die immediately. I have a feeling its in the optispark system because i have fuel pressure (used a guage) and I don't have any restrictions in the air filter.
I went through all the diagnosics online I could find. I checked the ICM for voltage, the coil for resistance and voltage, all the grounds I could find, etc. The only thing I cannot do is check the ECM, as I don't know how or who does it.
Is there anything else I may have missed or could there be another issue I overlooked? I know it could be the PassKey thing but I reset the computer and tried again but no luck, and the Security light turns off after the key is on...
One more thing, I never get a SES light. Maybe the bulb was pulled before I bought the car? How would I check? The only one I get is "Check Gauges."
TIA
